Spokane Trip

Most of you will yawn looking at the bagillions of pictures I have here from our trip to Spokane, but I just had to put them all on here. We had a great time, it was one of the longest trips we have ever taken. We were there for six days. As people closest to me know, I get home sick very bad so that was one problem I had while there but if I had to be away from my own home being at Corey's parents home would be second best! A huge thank you to Claci for letting Conner use her room as well as Chris and Sylvia for letting us use there room as well


Conner fell asleep on the plane. What a gift.

The guys just chatting...
Kay so I don't know if all of you know this or not, but Conner Loves, and when I say Loves I mean obsession/maddness/addiction kind of love, for LAWN MOWERS. When we first got to Chris and Sylvia's we took him outside to see the riding lawn mower and he wouldn't get off of the thing for over two hours. We tried to take him off and he went balistic so we all got chairs and just sat around him for a couple hours talking while he sat on the lawn mower. Man o man.

Then the "Nenny" (Kennady) came over and the fun really began. The biggest reason for us visiting Spokane was for these two to spent time together. I don't want to get overly emotional, but I believe whole-heartedly that these two are kindred spirits and were together in heaven and will always be best friends. They get along so well together and whenever Kennady wasn't around Conner would look around the whole house saying "Nenny?" "Nenny?"

The Con man and mom on the lawn mower. You can't see it here, but he actually kicked me off of it. He wouldn't even let me sit with him on it. He was so posessive of it.
Corey got to spend some time with his best friend Cameron while we were in town. Usually we are in town so shortly that we don't get to really spend time with him, but this time we did and look what they decided to do...go jump off a bridge they used to jump off together when they were kids. They are so funny together. And yes, they did jump. It was very funny for me to watch!
Best buddies coloring at dinner.
This WOULD be a cute picture but if you look close Corey is not very "into" the kiss, he is looking at his phone or something. Hmmmm I sure feel special. jk

My kiddos. I love them both.

So if you ever want to see Laurie turn her frown upside down, bring out some wax and let her wax everyone in the families eye brows. Oh the joy. I haven't been that happy and excited in I don't know how long.
I also did Corey's, Cameron's, Claci's, Sylvia's and even Chris'...but I think they ended up on Melissa's camera.
no explaination needed...


Kay so is this not the most beautiful picture (girl) you have ever seen? Cody and I got in a fight debating who took the prettiest picture of her. Mine wins....
Goofy
Better, I love my husband's smile.
kay here is a funny story...look at Cindy's glass of rootbeer.
Now look... clueless as ever.
Funniest thing EVER. She didn't even notice, but Corey put five packets of coffee creamer in her rootbeer while she wasn't looking. She is so sweet and innocent and I was laughing so hard because I kept telling her that a spider was behind her so Corey could put another packet of creamer in, and then she would look and not find it and I would say "Oh it was just the weird pattern of the seat behind you." She kept drinking not even noticing any difference! OH MY GOSH it was the funniest thing in the world. Haven't laughed that hard in a year.

SILVER MOUNTAIN INDOOR WATER PARK! If you haven't been you should. It's amazing.

I love Corey's little sisters Claci and Cindy. They are so cute with Conner and Kennady. Conner even learned to say "Claci" while we were there. The morning we were leaving he went around the house searching and calling "Claci" because it was time for pancakes. I adore my sisters in law.

Sisters. Me and Missa!
Brothers and Dad, getting up the guts to do the surf wave pool. Now please don't judge, the boys have all been very busy trying to get their careers started and are not in the physical shape they used to be in!! :)
Corey was really good at it. He loved it. He and Cody did it non stop from four o'clock till eight o'clock when they closed.
Dad even did it....and he was great too!

Me and my boy
Dad again
The next day at Silver Mountain we went on the World's Longest Gondola. It was so fun sleeping over in the condos there. I wish I had taken some pictures to show you how amazing our rooms were.

In the Gondola...Corey looks like he is on happy drugs haha

I love my little family.
The drink off!!! All week long these two kids were trading sippy cups left and right. It's always greener on the other side right?
"Haha I got them both.... "
At the top of the mountain they had some fun outdoor toys for the kids.

We talked Chris and Sylvia into letting us go out alone with Cody and Melissa and have them watch both the kids. Cody and Miss have a favorite resteraunt called The White House that we went to. It was sooo much fun. Finally a date night together with no kids. When we got home both kids were in grandma and grandpas arms fast asleep.

I love my sister in law Melissa. We are best budds. We shared a lot of secrets this week and she knows she better keep her mouth shut about mine or I will spill my guts about all of hers hehe jk
